TreeView control OCX

[rebelscum0000]

Dear All

Windows XP Pro
Access 2003 Pro SP3

I am looking for an OCX that can I use in a Form, where I
can expand - Collapse, use icons and enter description of each item

This URL shows some samples that my client wants in his form

http://www.jedikeeper.com/rebelscum0000/windows_screen.htm

I did a search at Google and I found

http://www.ssware.com/fldrview.htm

The Microsoft TreeView control should be able to do all of that. The problem
is, there's not much documentation out there for it.

I know they are expensive, but my client now is goig to paid for the
OCX, I want to save me hours of codign and testing, Better pay a
little money and be done with it. BTW, most OCX comes with a licence
for developpers to include a "free run time" version of the control in
the applications they distribute to their clients. So I keep the OCX
for other projects, I save many hours not reinventing the wheel, and
my client is very happy

Which OCX should I buy or which one do you suggest?

TIA

Regards,
Antonio Macias

Treeview is found in ComCtl32.ocx Or MSComCtl.ocx
and MSComCtl.ocx is shipped with vb6 runtime I think

The MS Treeview that works with Access comes in the Access Developer
Tools. Visual Studio Tools for Office

With the Developer Tools comes a license to distribute several
controls.

If buying a 3rd party OCX make sure that it's specifically guaranteed
to work with your version of Access. Just working with VB or other
platforms isn't good enough.

My bias would be to stick with MS Access's out-of-the-box
TreeView - in spite of it's pitiful documentation.

It's not all that bad to learn it (at least for the stuff I do:
build a list, expand/collapse nodes, add/change/delete nodes in
place....), you won't have the deployment issue of a third-party
tree, and you won't have the threat of your application breaking
if/when migrated to a new version of MS Access. a
